Tending to Students
When people ask what I do I tell them I teach. I’m a professor at a local liberal arts college - a small, historic school that is rooted in tradition, academic rigor, and commitment to excellence. I teach a range of students, from freshmen who have just stepped foot on campus, to guiding seniors through research projects. I go where I’m needed, I meet students where they are.

Homeschool Versus Virtual or Online School
There some major differences between Homeschool and Virtual School. I will try and cover the most important ones . Fore example Virtual school has real teachers via the internet , Homeschool is parent , or tutor led with no, to little teacher involvement. There is end of year achievement testing with Virtual school. Kids must pass to continue to next the next grade. Homeschool has no testing requirements , but you do need to keep a portfolio of things done to have assessed at the end of year. Homeschool does not have a defined grade level you must keep track of that as well as high school transcripts yourself. Some of these things I will go over in more detail in later articles.

No Subject Line. Top Story - September 2021.
“These young people” I sighed after reading the second request for an extension. The e-mail messages came in weeks before the first day of class and before the student even saw the syllabus. I reply politely, make sure I can log in to all the University’s systems and start writing my presentations. Later in the day I commiserate on Facebook with my fellow college instructors about how annoying these young people are; were we like that or did our teachers like us because we weren’t like that? How long will it take for these shenanigans to go from amusing to downright enraging? Its all fun and games, until a parent starts to stalk you because their brilliant child is barely earning a C in the course.

Taking College Classes as a High School Student
High school is often seen as the pre-game warm-up to your next step in the “real world”, whether that be college, a trade school, the military, or a steady job. But that is not the case for everybody—certainly not for me. I am a high school student taking college classes, and while it is coming to be more common, it is nothing to take lightly. You must prepare yourself mentally and physically like never before, including a strategic sleep schedule and time to relax, even though these things are often put on the back burner. There are many pros and cons of being a college credit plus student, but any cons that come their way are often overpowered with the results: going into the world with a head start and being able to make a difference more rapidly.

Teaching is Not for the Faint of Heart. First Place in A Day in the Life Challenge.
I loved my job because I made a difference. First day back to school in 1989 Past tense is necessary because I recently retired after 32 years of teaching in Florida. Once you’ve past the 10-year mark, teaching is in your blood forever. I feel the intense need to correct spelling and apostrophes on signs, and I’ve dangerously Shhhhh’d people at the movies. Retirement doesn’t mean my job is over; it’s simply morphing into different endeavors. Educators in the United States are both respected and maligned, depending on the issue, state, or even day of the week.

Reasons I Teach
As I conversed with my grandfather in the seldom-used patio overlooking his backyard, a story I had dreamed only the night before returned to my thoughts. I quickly acquired pen and paper with which to transcribe my dream, and wrote furiously as I imagined dialogue to expand upon the vague visualizations and feelings. Page after page kept turning in my notebook, and as I neared the end of my visit, I read my story aloud to my eager grandfather. He smiled with admiration and remarked on the creativity I had exhibited. I reminded him of his own mother, my great-grandmother Dorothy. Like her, I have always been drawn towards education, unaware of my familial links to the teaching profession. We are both family-oriented, compassionate, and possessing what my grandfather described as a quiet intelligence. I like to think that I understand her in a way, despite the distance between our two generations.
